Before he heard God, Job could not speak enough. After he heard God, he could not speak at all!

The word for such moments is reverence.

Prayer

“When you pray “hallowed be thy name,” you climb to a new level of respect for God and reverence for his person. You are ascending to the very heart of God to recognize who His and what He has done for us.” - Elmer Towns Praying Through the Lord’s Prayer

What does it mean to “hallow” His name? The word “hallow” is the Greek word hagios which is the word for holy, “Hallow” means “to set apart as holy, to consider holy , to treat as holy.” The best modern word perhaps is reverence. When you pray “hallowed be your name” you are saying, “let your name be holy and reverence on earth as it already is in heaven.

John Hamby says we are saying, “May your name be given the unique reverence that is due your character and nature as the Heavenly Father.”
